Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times in our lives; yet, it can also be one of the most stressful. From physical changes like your growing belly to feeling anxious about labor and delivery to worrying about how life will change with a newborn, stress can impact us at any point during pregnancy.
While stress is very common during pregnancy, too much of it can make it more difficult to eat properly and get the right amount of sleep and rest that you and your baby need.
The best way to manage pregnancy related stress is to build your toolbox with stress busting coping techniques. See the What To Do section for tips on ways to keep stress levels low and nip it in the bud when it rears its head.
